I can't seem to hit my roamer seed even though I am starting my game at the right time and holding down the two buttons I am supposed to when the game boots. I am saved right before going out the door which triggers the roamer to set its ivs and nature and even though my ivs are frame 1 on the seed I can't seem to hit them. Am I doing anything wrong? Do I just press the two buttons or hold them down at the logo?

You hold them down from the moment you start the game until after the logo. If that's not the problem, check your adjacent seeds, make sure you aren't hitting the wrong Timer0 or something.

I'm planning to RNG a shiny Pansear, and I have both my standard seed and my pidrng seed. I noticed that the NPC that gives you the elemental monkeys moves around randomly. What would be the best way to go about advancing the frame? I tried saving but she just moves in between saves, and unfortunately I dont have a Chatot yet.

I am sure its not my Timer0 because I have been using the same timer0 and have successfully RNGed all 3 of the musketeer trio, Zoroark, Zorua, Victini, and Volcarona using seeds from the same timer0 value. I think its probably the button thing that is messing me up. I got one on Frame 1 where I only have to hold Left so I will hold left on the dpad right after I start the game until the years for the game show up.

Hey, sorry if this has already been covered. I just need to know if I'm doing this right.
I've got my seed for the iv's. But I don't seem to encounter the pokemon I want to. If I advance the frame to the encounter slot I want will I still gain the iv's if I hit my frame?

Yes as long as you hit your seed then you can advance the pid frame as you need

I've had Timer0 be consistent for dozens of attempts in a row, then suddenly switch to being consistently the other one. Check it anyway.

--------------------Now, hopefully someone can resolve my new issue: HELP!
I'm trying to breed for perfect IVs and Shinyness. But I can't figure out how to check my seed! The fact that some of the IVs are inherited makes the DS Parameter Search obsolete. And since I pick-up the Egg ASAP after the game loads, Sweet Scenting a nearby Pokemon doesn't really help - I mean, isn't the game reseeded? It would explain why, when I tried to Sweet Scent a Pokemon immediately after picking up the Egg, the Sweet Scented Pokemon's IVs failed the DS Parameter Search (0 results emerged) - this happened a couple of times. What should I do to calibrate, then? I'm obviously NOT hitting my seed, as the IVs are not what they should be... but I can't figure out what I'm really hitting...

The easy way to verify your seed is as soon as you've picked up your egg fly to the top of victory road and sweet scent - the pokemon you catch should be on an IV frame of ~14 for the seed you're using.

when breeding with ditto and an everstone, (and making no IV frame advancements) will your PID frame still typically fall between 40-100? Because mine never seem to when I'm breeding with ditto and an everstone

Okay, I'm confused. I'm trying to abuse a shiny Haxorous in Mistralton Cave, and my PID frames are jumping around at random and I don't know why. I have to walk 384 steps for the IVs first, and I've done 4 tests to determine my starting frame for PID. I found my starting frame to be 869 (everything matched; encounter slots, gender, nature, everything). So my target frame is 1204. So 1204-869=335, right? So I do a reset, take note that the dirt spot appears in the right place signalling I hit my seed. I complete the steps, do all the Chatot calls, and it tells me that I hit frame 1184 (not too far off, so w/e). I reset and hit the seed again. I do all the advancements again and the closest one that I could have hit is 1095. What's going on? The seed is: 8980D1BC540358BF. ID/SID: 61342/42842. IV Frame: 15.

Hey, are you guys ever going to make a button for a desired PID Frame? Because it really annoys me sometimes when I find a spread that looks awesome but is on like PID Frame 83921 or something(Shiny PID). *Figured it out*

Timer0 changes whenever the hell Timer0 feels like changing. I RNGd fine for numerous pokemon and then all of a sudden i didnt work. I kept trying with the ame results till I found out that Timer0 does what it wants when it wants.

Okay, here is another question!!! Is the PIDRNG Frame calculator 100% accurate in a place with no NPCs? If not, how accurate is it? I need to know this stuff for future reference. For example, I need to know to use/not use this calculator. Thanks in advance!

Are you at the floor where Cobalion is? There's no NPCs advancing the PID frame. It can also be your timer fluctuating.

I'm on the second floor (not the one with Cobalion, but not the one with the two hikers). I don't think it's my timer fluctuating, as I still get the IVs I want (according to the IV guy in the battle subway and the characteristic of what I catch).

I think the Hikers affect the PID regardless of their challenge status

But there on the floor under the one I'm on, so would they still effect me? I'll try again later when I get free time on the top floor (where Cobalion was) and see if I still have trouble. I'll post if I do, and if not you'll see a post in the DMP thread.

Question: Does sending Zekrom/Reshiram to Dragonspiral Tower change anything? I don't really want to RNG them now so I'm filling up my boxes so I can get to them later. I just want to make sure sending them there isn't going to lock in there nature/IVs or anything like that. Has anyone RNGed them at Dragonspiral Tower?

Any help would be great!

Apparently there's some debate over if the shiny check on Zekrom/Reshiram is gone when they're at Dragonspiral Tower. But it's tedious getting 726 Pokemon to fill up PC boxes + Party just to do that...

When RNGing for Dream World pokemon, do their IVs and Nature get calculated in the Dream World or in the Entralink?
Im guessing Entralink, and if so does the Entralink's wireless connection disrupt the frame enhancement.
And also one last question, Im guessing if the wireless does nothing to the frame, then this is only accessible for people with that can do Standard RNG abuse. Am I right?
